CNBC Follows Up Its Special Report on Weed with One on Hookers and Another on Porn. Trend?

Is it me or does there seem to be a trend with CNBC’s special reports? First David Faber did an excellent job with “Marijuana Inc: Inside America’s Pot Industry.” Tonight is the premiere of “Dirty Money: The Business of High-End Prostitution.” And next Wednesday, they air “Porn: Business of Pleasure.”
And they employ Dennis Kneale.
Don’t get wrong, I’m all for this vice stuff. But some of their sponsors aren’t too thrilled with the idea. Mediaite notes that Charles Schwab pulled it sponsorship of Fast Money—though not from CNBC entirely.
